Cue + Simmy
The honest version
What Songtools does
Songtools is a done-for-you promotion suite for independent artists: Playlister.Club pitches your song into a 20,000+ curator network, SongFly runs social ads with the creatives made for you, and SongPage covers free smart links and pre-saves. You order a campaign per song, and their system runs it.
Songtools playlisting runs $10 per day with a 7-day minimum, or $48 per month flat. SongFly ads start at $10 per day with a 3-day minimum, and campaigns start around $150 for two weeks (as of mid-2026).

Questions
Is Symphony a replacement for Songtools?
For ads, smart links, and release execution, yes: the Symphony roster runs those end to end, in your own accounts. For paid playlist pitching, no: Symphony does not sell curator placements. Growth comes from real ads and fan outreach you own, and Cue puts your Spotify editorial pitch on the release runway.
Does Symphony pitch playlists like Playlister.Club?
Not the same way. Playlister.Club is a paid curator network billed per day. Symphony does not do pay-for-placement: campaigns are real ads on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, and your Spotify editorial pitch goes through your own Spotify for Artists, scheduled by Cue so the window never slips.
What does Symphony cost compared to Songtools?
Songtools bills per service: about $48 a month for playlisting or $10 a day per campaign, plus campaign fees from around $150. Symphony's Team plan is $99 a month for the whole agent roster, with 200 free credits to try it on a real task first.
